You must firstly have a style in mind in order to make changes to it. Let’s say you have already created a style before. Now you must go to the ‘styles’ option and click on the dialogue box launcher arrow. Here you will be able to see various styles, and the one you have created previously.

All you must do is highlight the word you wish to format, and then select ‘Essay’ in order to apply changes.
Step # 2- Modify a Style
You can now click on the style previously selected, for example ‘Essay’ and a drop down box will promptly appear on your screen. You must further click on the drop down arrow and then select ‘Modify’. Once this is done, a dialogue box for the ‘Modify Style’ option will open ,using which you can modify the format of a specific style i.e. font style, font size and color.
Step # 3 – Modify For All:
Now a style has been made and modifications have been saved which can be applied to any document you like. You now have to decide whether you would like to apply the changes made to the current document only or to all future documents too. You can make your decision by using the options given in the lower part of the same ‘Modify style’ dialogue box.
Step # 4 – Delete/Revert a Style:
Once you open the drop down menu of a specific style, you will probably notice an item in the given options titled ‘Revert to Title’. The function can be used to remove any particular style from the list of styles. You can do so by first going to a particular styles’ drop down menu and then selecting the option named ‘Revert to Title’.
